To-allwhom it mag concern e it known that l, FRANK E. SrRAsun, a
citizen of the United States, and a resident Hillsboro and certain "new and useful Improvements in Triple-Hook Gollar-Fas'teners, of which the following iea specification.
This invention relates to devices or taoliing collars to shirts, in somewhat the mannerof an ordinary collar-button.
As is Well known, there are several objections to ordinary collar-buttons, one being that the circular disk, usually quite small, is liable to create objectionable pressure and sometimes a pinching action of the skin at the back of the neck, another being that it produces a hump in the back of the collar, and another is that the ordinary collar-button is likely to work loose and to become lost.
As substitutes for a collar-button, sheet metal clips have been made, having a base and a tongue to pass through the buttonholes of the neck-band of the shirt and the collar, but no such clip that I am aware of is adapted for use with the different styles of shirts hereinafter referred to.
The object of the present invention is to provide a simple and reliable collar-fastener which is adapted to be used with any kind of-a shirt, Which cannot work loose, even When no-collar is attached to the neck-band of the shirt, andwhich cannot cause any discomfort or injury to the back of the neck of the wearer.
To these-ends the invention consists in the improvements'which I shall now proceed to describe-and claim.
Of theaccompanying-drawings, Figure 1 illustrates my improved fastener as used in connectionwith the neck-band of ashirt which opens at the back, such type of shirt being commonly known as a bosom-front shirt. Fig. 2 represents a section on line 2-2 of Fig.1, on a larger'scale. Fig. 3 is a view similarto Fig. 2, 1llustrating the fastener as used in connection with a neglige invariably'opens at the front. Fig. 4: is a perspective view of my improved fastener. Fig. 5 is an edge view, looking from the top. Fig. 6 is an elevation'of the-form of blank from which the fastener is made. Fig. 7 is a sectional view, illustrating the manipulation necessary to remove the fastener from the neck-band of a. shirt which opens at the back. rig. S
shirt, which almost have invented place the fastener in position for use in connection with the neck-band of a shirt which opens at the baclr. Fig. 9 illustrates the method of placing the fastener in position in the neck-band oi a shirt that opens in front.
Similar indicate reference characters similar-or the same parts in all of the views.
A bosom front shirt, the neck-band of which opens at the back, has one end of the neck-band made of a double thickness, the inner layer being to protect the back of the neck of the wearer from contact with. the collar-button. This inner strip of the neckband is indicated at a, in l, 2, and 7. The outer strip iiap a has a buttonhclo, as usual. The other end of the neckhand, indicated a is oi? single thickness. The base of the ordinary collar-button is fitted between the two strips a, a, and the shank projects through the button-hole of the strip a, and then the other end a 01" the neck-band is buttoned over the buttonhcad, projecting then. to enter the buttonhole of the collar 0. The other, or neglige type of shirt illustrated, comprises the innor fabric layer I), which usually has no button-hole, a short outer flap or layer 5' having a button-hole for the. shank of a collar-luitton. I am able to employ my improved fastener with equal facility with either of these types of shirts. My improved Iasteuer, made of metal or celluloid, or other suitable sheet material, has total distance from. front to back than what is ordinarily necessary for a collar-button, because of the flat surface presented, the ordinary collar-hutton having a head which protrudes riarwardly' considerably. As illustrated 'n Figs. 4, 5, and ii, the latter figure representing the blank ior being bent to the fOIilT-SllOWll in Figs. 4c and 5, comprises a base having a mid portion 10 and wide rounded wings 11, the wings being approximately circular in form. The mid portion 16 is relatively narrow, and pro- 13 extending down- Preferably, the ta-' wardly, so that there will be no objectionable pressure brought. against the back of the wearer if he throws his head; upwardly.
' The baselO and wings 11, as a whole, are
curved from end to end, as best shown in Fig. 5. v 1 v A most important feature of my invention is, that the upper end of the hook or tongue 13 iswi'der than the shank 12, presenting shoulders 15 which act as hooks, as hereinafter described.
When the fasteneris used in connection with a shirt of the type indicated in Figs. 1 and 2 the strips a, a are separated, as shown in Fig. 8, and the fastener slid. downwardly against the surface of strip a, to carry the tongue 13 through the button-hole of the strip or flap a, said button-hole being slid along the tongue on to the shank 12. The width of the upper end of the tongue 13, including the shoulders 15, is preferably, such as to just snugly pass through a button-hole of the regulation length. Application of the fastener in the manner described, holds it in. position so that the other end of the neck-bank a can be buttoned over the tongue 13, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2, the tongue 13 being then held in position to enable the button-hole of the collar 0' to be readily passed upwardly along said tongue and past the shoulders 15 to the shank 12- There is never any liability of the collar coming off when so attached. When the collar is detached, there is no liability of the neck-band of the shirt opening accidentally, because one end of onebutton-hole will be engaged by the shank 12 behind one book or shoulder 15, and the other end of the other button-hole will be engaged by the shank behind the other hook or shoulder 15. To unbutton the neck-band it is necessary to first pull the end a outwardly, as indicated in Fig. -7, and slip it'down off from the tongue 13,
after which the fastener can'be removed by separating the strips a, a, as shown in Fig. 8.
When the fastener is to legused in connection with a neglige shirt, such as illusis pressed outwardly, as indicated in Fig. 9, and the fact that the shank 12 fastener,
' the entire base tongue 13. is passed through the button-hole of said flap, and the fastener then turned to the position shown in Fig. 3, after which the collar 0 can be applied in the same manner as described in connection withIFig. 2. hen in this position, it cannot possibly work loose. It can only be removed by reversing the movements just described in connection with Fig. 9. i
It will be now understood that I have provided a collar fastener suitable for use in connection with either kind of shirt or neckband described, and that, owing to the three hooks presented by the members 13 and 15, there is no possibility of the fastener working loose. The hook 13 engages the collar 0, and the hooks 15 engage opposite ends of the button-holes of the overlapping ends of the neck-band of a bosom front shirt. The is at right angle to the plane of the base and of the tongue 13, insures the retention of all of the parts or members designed to be connected by the as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3.
I claim:
A collar fastener comprisinga base having a narrow central portion the upper edge of which is substantially straight and-wide rounded lateral wings, a straight shank extending rearwardly from the narrow portion of the base, and a buttonhole-engaging tongue having a tapered rearwardly curved tip extending downwardly from said shank, including the wings being vertically straight and laterally curved from end to end to correspond to the curvature of the neckband of a shirt, the said shank being straight and fiat from end to end, one end FRANK E. SPRAGUE.
